0:13
started in june in full force with our
0:16
uh people starting at night hanging
0:19
and we'll keep having hanging lights on
0:21
our close days overnight
0:23
and the mornings all the way up until we
0:25
open for christmas as you can see up
0:26
here that's part of our lighting teams
0:28
which were spread out all over the park
0:32
where we're going through and hanging
0:33
lights our lighting teams take a lot of
0:35
passion in what they do and
0:37
really delivering that that great
0:38
quality experience when you come to
0:41
one thing we definitely want you to hear
0:42
when you come to dollywood during
0:45
is we're still offering all our great
0:46
christmas lights and decorations
0:49
and that great christmas experience and
0:51
we'll have our glacier ridge element or
0:53
all of our christmas lights and all the
0:55
the things that we'll be doing
0:56
differently there'll be like a different
0:58
what i was saying earlier the different
0:59
feel and look in rivertown
1:01
and the valley it's a very specific
1:04
that it's looks beautiful like i said i
1:07
wish i could share some of that
1:08
information but if we want you to come
1:09
back and see it firsthand
1:12
you know we're doing the different
1:13
styles of lights and then
1:15
we're utilizing some temporary planters
1:18
that we use for flower and food
1:19
to use some of those for christmas so
1:21
we'll actually have be able to put some
1:23
more decorations out on park
1:25
uh the only the some other differences
1:27
you might see is some of those glacier
1:28
ridge elements might get spread out a
1:30
for social distancing to kind of help
1:32
encourage that because we don't want to
1:34
put too many people in one location we
1:36
want to kind of spread it out and spread
1:38
and but yeah still doing everything and
1:42
we still want to deliver that great
1:44
quality christmas experience
1:45
we start taking them down in january
1:47
like right after the park closes we have
1:49
team of like 20 to 25 people that work
1:52
january february and march
1:54
to take all the christmas lights and
1:56
christmas decorations down which takes
1:58
i mean it takes quite a while because
2:01
crunch week when we change over from
2:04
to christmas we've got hundreds of
2:09
working to get harvest and gpl elements
2:11
taken down but at the same time
2:13
christmas elements going up
2:15
because a lot of the big christmas
2:16
decorations we do not want to put those
2:18
out and affect the harvest and gpl
2:20
festival until that week
2:23
and so like christmas lights is a
2:24
different story there's no physical way
2:26
i don't think we could get all the
2:27
lights down in one week
2:29
and so with hundreds of people putting
2:32
them up for that week
2:34
you know it takes 20 people about it's
2:38
so usually like right before park
2:39
opening we're still taking down
